PRE-AND POST-NUPTIAL AGREEMENTS

Often when people marry they come to the marriage with property of disproportionate value. This is frequently the case when one of them has been married before. When entering into another relationship, the monied spouse usually has children from the first marriage and is thinking not only about the bad experience of the first divorce and property split, but also of the inheritance rights of the children from the first marriage. This is a lot of worrisome baggage to bring into a new relationship.

A pre-nuptial agreement can be the answer. Our firm understands that this is a delicate situation. We can negotiate the terms of the agreement with your fiancee’s attorney, or both of you can come to our office together and reach an agreement through mediation.

Married couples sometimes enter into post-nuptial agreements using the same process.
